Evolving doctrine

CAIJ enriches its repertory of evolving doctrine by 60 to 100 articles per week. It includes over 4,000 articles and guides generated by more than 30 law firms and CAIJ partner associations, which cover such newsworthy topics as cryptocurrency, the impact of artificial intelligence and the legalization of cannabis. This type of text allows you to monitor the evolution of the legal practice before new laws or amendments are in force.
